德克·诺维茨基是NBA有史以来最伟大的大个子球员之一,很可能成为达拉斯小牛队历史上最好的球员。这位德国人为小牛队踢了21个赛季,成为职业生涯中唯一一位只为一支球队效力的球员。一路上,他在2011年赢得了NBA总冠军,入选了14支全明星球队,并在2007年被评为MVP。在他职业生涯的大部分时间里,他身边都是一位特别的女性。在这篇文章中,我们来看看德克·诺维茨基的妻子杰西卡·奥尔森。
杰西卡·奥尔森也来自欧洲,出生在瑞典,母亲是瑞典人,父亲是肯尼亚人。她来自一个体育家庭,她的双胞胎兄弟都在瑞典踢不同级别的职业足球。
奥尔森在那里长大,并于2010年在达拉斯的“体育促进教育经济发展”(Sports for Education Economic Development)运动会上与德克相遇。该运动会是一个总部位于塞内加尔的组织,以篮球为平台,在各个领域对青少年进行教育。他们很快就合得来,开始约会。仅仅两年后的2012年,诺维茨基和奥尔森结婚了。但是,这对夫妇分别举行了两次婚礼。一次是在德克德国的家中,然后是在肯尼亚的一场传统婚礼上,德克被要求从五个戴面纱的女人中辨认出他的妻子,这是一种文化姿态来表达他的爱。
几年前,诺维茨基在一次独特的仪式上发表了讲话,当时他们一路前往肯尼亚的纳尤基。通过不败:
“太棒了,”诺维茨基说他们把我妻子带走了。他们带了五六个女孩出来,她们都被掩护着。所以我要做的第一件事就是找到我的妻子。所以我四处走动,看看它们有多高。
“我想这是传统之一。如果你弄错了,你就得给父母一只山羊什么的。所以我很幸运。我闻了闻她,想找到合适的。所以,我在那里很幸运。但那只是一次我永远不会忘记的经历。”
当诺维茨基遇到奥尔森时,她正在达拉斯的一家画廊工作。他们第一次在2011年ESPY颁奖典礼上公开露面,但当德克在舞台上亲吻一名有色人种女性后,人们对德克与她在一起的反应褒贬不一。然而,这并不一定是因为任何人对他们的关系持种族歧视态度,主要是因为人们对诺维茨基和一个非裔美国女孩约会感到惊讶。
在两人交换誓言后不久,他们于2013年7月生下了第一个孩子,并给她取名为Malaika。两年后,奥尔森生下了他们的第二个孩子,一个名叫马克斯的儿子。2016年,莫里斯·诺维茨基终于出生了。现在,奥尔森和诺维茨基有了一个成熟的家庭。事实上,当诺维茨基还在NBA打球时,奥尔森基本上是一个全职妈妈。但是,年龄的差异帮助她处理一切。通过DFW儿童:
“孩子们被吓坏了,我总是在家里看护,或者和一个不在学校的人在家。对我来说,这有点好,因为我冬眠了,真的找到了作为母亲的路。”
在诺维茨基家族,他们实际上总共会说三种语言。英语、瑞典语和德语。奥尔森和孩子们大多说瑞典语,但他们三人都在达拉斯的一所德国国际学校学习。不用说,德克和奥尔森正在尽一切可能确保他们的孩子非常有教养。
奥尔森最终放弃了自己的美术馆工作,现在是达拉斯迪克诺维茨基基金会的总裁。该组织的宗旨是帮助贫困儿童和家庭。他们甚至与达拉斯网球协会有一个项目。这对夫妇在城市里非常活跃,总是在做一些事情来帮助达拉斯沃思堡地区的人们。诺维茨基在那里基本上是一个活生生的传奇人物,他会因为帮助那些不幸的人而得到更多的爱。他也经常出现在小牛队的比赛中,并与超级巨星卢卡·唐契奇分享了许多特别的时刻,他将成为小牛队下一个最伟大的球员。
Dirk Nowitzki和Jessica Olsson自从2010年二月在那个特别的夜晚第一次见面就已经相聚了11年。他们的兴趣,尤其是在体育方面,帮助他们从一开始就结婚了,这对夫妇现在正在通过基金会回馈他们的三个漂亮的孩子。
就在那里。关于德克·诺维茨基的妻子杰西卡·奥尔森,你只需要知道这些。

Dirk Nowitzki’s wife: Jessica Olsson
原文:
Dirk Nowitzki is one of the greatest big men to ever play in the NBA and will likely go down as the best player in Dallas Mavericks history. The German played all 21 seasons for the Mavs, becoming the only player to ever suit up for just one team in a career. Along the way, he won an NBA title in 2011, made 14 All-Star teams, and was named the MVP in 2007. By his side for a good part of his career was a special woman. In this post, we’re taking a look at Dirk Nowitzki’s wife, Jessica Olsson.
Jessica Olsson comes from European roots as well and was born in Sweden to a Swedish mother and a Kenyan father. She comes from an athletic family, with her twin brothers both playing professional football at various levels in Sweden.
Olsson grew up there and eventually met Dirk in 2010 at the Sports for Education Economic Development in Dallas, which is a Senegal-based organization that uses basketball as a platform to educate the youth in various areas. They quickly hit it off and started dating. Just two years later in 2012, Nowitzki and Olsson tied the knot. But, the couple had two separate weddings. One at Dirk’s home in Germany and then also a traditional Kenyan wedding where Dirk was asked to identify his wife from five veiled women, a cultural gesture to show his love.
Nowitzki spoke on the unique ceremony a few years back where they traveled all the way to Nanyuki, Kenya. Via the Undefeated:
“It was awesome,” Nowitzki said. “They took my wife away. They brought five or six girls out and they were all covered. So the first thing I had to do was find my wife. So I’m walking around and looking at how tall they are.
“I guess it’s one of the traditions. If you get it wrong, you got to pay the parents a goat or something. So I was lucky. I smelled her to find the right one. So, I got lucky there. But that was just an experience that I’ll never forget.”
At the time when Nowitzki met Olsson, she was working at a Dallas art gallery. They first made their public appearance at the 2011 ESPY Awards, but the reaction to Dirk being with a colored woman got mixed reviews after he kissed her on stage. However, it wasn’t necessarily anyone being racial towards their relationship, it was mainly people being surprised that Nowitzki was dating an African-American girl.
Not long after the two exchanged vows, they had their first child in July of 2013 and named her Malaika. Two years later, Olsson gave birth to their second kid, a son named Max. Finally, in 2016, Morris Nowitzki was born. Now, Olsson and Nowitzki have a full-fledged family. In fact, Olsson was basically a stay-at-home mom when they were all first born as Nowitzki was still playing in the NBA. But, the difference in ages helped her juggle everything. Via DFW Child:
“The kids were staggered to a point where I was always home nursing, or home with someone who wasn’t in school. To me, it was kind of nice, because I hibernated and really found my way as a mother.”
In the Nowitzki household, they actually speak a total of three languages. English, Swedish, and German. Olsson speaks mostly Swedish with the kids, but all three of them went through a German International School in Dallas. Needless to say, Dirk and Olsson are making sure their children are very cultured in every way possible.
Olsson eventually ditched her art gallery job and is now the President of the Dirk Nowitzki Foundation in Dallas. The purpose of the organization is to help underprivileged children and families. They even have a program with the Dallas Tennis Association. The couple is very active within the city and is always doing something to help the people in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Nowitzki is basically a living legend there anyway and he’ll be even more loved by helping the less fortunate. He’s also frequently seen at Mavs games and has shared many special moments with superstar Luka Doncic, who is shaping up to be the next greatest Mavericks player.
Dirk Nowitzki and Jessica Olsson have now been together almost 11 years since they first met on that special night in February of 2010. Their interests, particularly in sports, helped them bond from day one, and the couple is now giving back through the foundation and bringing up their three beautiful children in the process.
There it is. That’s all you need to know about Dirk Nowitzki’s wife, Jessica Olsson.
